any tips on how to stop browsing 4chan? the pain is actually affecting me physically at this point, not just mentally
Every time I saw a post that was written by a succubus or a dude bro alpha chad slayer I browsed that normalgroid breeding ground less and less. Eventually I just stopped altogether. I feel the same way about this place too. My tolerance for that bullshit is 0. Someday I won’t be here at all

/a/ was once considered a stomping ground for nocturnal NEETs, otaku and other enthusiasts. Today it's simply a shounenspic shitposting board and many its users openly brag about their conquests with succubi, their numerous relationshits, and other unsavory topics. You're mocked for taking more than a casual interest in the hobby, and the "enthusiasts" of yesteryear are now said to be those who should "get a life". "3DPD" is retroactively made out to be a phase which most people grew out of.
It doesn't surprise me, anyway. If the majority of people are normal then it stands to reason that the majority of a userbase would be fairly normal, too–this website is no exception.
The whole myth of 4chan being populated by outcasts and virgins was only true for a brief while, if ever.

I kinda just stopped using 4chan around 2013 when I found wizardchan. I have briefly gone back to see what's up with it and I just get driven away extremely fast. The quality is abysmal, every meme is a dead horse rotten and beaten to a liquid consistency that stinks like foul garbage mixed with shit. I don't really have any advice on how to stop using it, more like a question of how you even still use that place and why, it offers nothing of value and you are posting with actual children or manchildren who make shitposts on their lunch break. Literally do anything else with your time than use that website, it may have been fun 15 years ago but it is long past it's expiration date and it offers nothing unique other than rampant off-topic shitposting and unfunny overused memes. I don't blame the moderation or staff there for anything, the community is just beyond itself and really the only right thing to do would be to close the website so people can finally splinter off to other chans and leave the normalfags behind.

Try getting banned from the place for longer than a few days, so there's little incentive to post. This would hopefully help you stop going, as you aren't waiting for replies.
Worked for me. I said I was underaged, and the jannies banned me for a few months within a half hour.

I just want these people to fuck off. They ostracize me irl and then try and take over my copes because they think they are too quirky and different for social media. It’s wanting to have their cake and eat it too. I’ve been surgically removing media that I indulge in one by one to escape these tormentors. I hope to one day be free of their tyranny

It's just impossible to find a place that is like an island not influenced by the big 4chan superpower, I don't know what would need to happen for that to go away. I think this format definitely doesn't work when you have too many users though, more people just encourages less quality because threads get pushed away too quickly to care about what you're writing. Maybe it is dead because people only want to be in a place that is crowded with other users, but I don't know, not me.

I've seen the comic of Green anon guy raping Kim Possible floating around the web for years, had no idea it was an early 4chan meme
To me 4chan is like a case study in the will to power of the slave. I remember back in high school, liking anime was like the losers of the losers. And watching anime in Japanese, that was like beyond the pale. And 4chan starts off as a Japanese anime culture board. And the rest is history. The own unique culture 4chan created from it. Full of trolling, sadism, cruelty, illegality. Its like the nerds in class, at the bottom of high school, actually had the strongest will to power of all. Far exceeding anything the football jock had. He was just too physically beaten down to open express it, beyond the occasional edgy controversial opinion in class.
I guess my natural tendency is to romanticize those on the bottom. Must be because you're a nice guy who can't compete in this tooth and nail darwinian world. But it seems like Nietzsche was right, at least in this case, about how those on bottom harbor the most cruel sadistic will to power of all. The high school anime fan and his will to power on 4chan.

I think of the Stoic Epictetus, and how he said that when you let someone insult you on the street get under your skin, you're letting him be a master of your thoughts. I guess the modern expression "rent free" captures it well. You're just handing him that space in your head for free.
And this is a guy actually going out of his way to physically insult you to your face.
How much more true is it, when I let myself get triggered by a comment on 4chan. Often time not even meant for me personally. That I will come across months or even years later meant for someone else.
It's all just text on a screen. Sometimes I imagine I have a split personality and wrote it myself.

This isn't true.
It has flooded with a lot more normalfaggots than it once had, sure. The electiontourists, and before them the eternal summerfags when the internet became mainstream. But they are in no way the majority, and over there every day is still an ongoing battle of oldfags/trueanons telling normalfags to kill themselves. They're still fighting the good fight, god bless them.
>>185738
You obviously weren't around back in the "good ol days" that OP's shitty picture alludes to. The website used to be much faster and wild than it is today.

The only good posters besides a few regulars are the oldfags who are just passing through.
The only reason anyone decent consistently uses 4chan (besides smaller and hobby boards) is because they are addicted to shit posting and just posting and browsing.. that place is fucking shit.

I miss 2009/2010 4chan on b. The memes were new and newer memes were always coming out. Wojack and Pepe ruined it imo. Plus we did cool stuff back in the day like giving presents to William T Lashua on his birthday and funny stupid raids. I miss that, now it's just angst and snarkposting.

What board did you browse? /pol/ here, as far as I can tell it's all male posters and those who say otherwise are larping.
Only thing that gets to me is seeing people who made it off crypto/have stable careers at 18-21 or whatever. Makes me feel like a serious loser.

Find another channel to post on.
That or go outside and find things to enjoy that don't require other people. Cutting internet and people out of your life for most people is very difficult, it's like going all of your life sleeping on the cold floor then one night trying a bed. At least in the beginning it's awesome, but you can't ever go back to how you were before as your mind has been changed. I used to think like that before my internet was shut off for half a year which severely limited how mouch I could use it. I started going outside into the woods, picked up woodcarving and began going innawoods like I had as an early teen. I cried the first night I awoke outside to the sunrise, no worries or fears just pure happiness. Whenever I'm not alone in the wilderness I'm a sad drunk, like now

Do people/zoomers even bother with memes these days? You don't see very many anymore. Pepe and Wojak were probably the last big ones.

I like to hang out on /tv/ waiting for the offtopic stuff to arrive so i can laugh at it like a retard. The most recent appear to be threads making fun of christmas for some reason and of course the "die hard is a christmas movie" ones have started up again though technically thats ontopic

Of course they're still around, they're just not as virulent as the feels guy/facebook frog. One "meme format" that I've seen more and more of recently are images which evoke nostalgia for 90s-2000s era culture with subtext implying that the viewer has just woken up and the 10s/20s were just a really weird nightmare.

Totally different vibe, too. Probably doesn't come off right if you just look at the archives or whatever, kind of like reading a chat log lacks the timing and interplay of having been there. It moved more like being a kid at an endless sleepover party.

I think it will always be the case that websites are mostly populated by kids. Most adults dont have time for this kinda thing because they end up with work/relationships/their own kids. Of course you could have people like wizards but it's rare and they are gently pushed out of the culture when they get too old to relate with kid shit. I think you can either give up the mental barrier and just enjoy the kid stuff even though it's stupid, or you can go live on your ever increasingly empty island.

block images from the domain
use a word filter addon and gradually replace common words with whitespace
get some sort of internet traffic thing to slow your internet to a crawl when using 4chan
disable javascript and tons of the websites css so it looks ugly
make a script that monitors your web browser activity for 4chan (not hard you can just parse your internet browsers window title) and have it randomly decide between doing nothing and logging you out if you are on 4chan for too long
invert your screen colors when your internet browser is focused
make a script begin beeping inaudibly at first and have it grow in volume and pitch the longer you have 4chan open
get a hobby (do not get a job tho)
start reading books
enable qos in your router and set your device to a dogshit throttled speed
maybe give yourself a reward each day you didnt visit 4chan, something you really like, maybe it is watching stuff in bed before sleep
or give yourself a punishment when you do visit 4chan that day, like you can only eat bread or drink water the following day

Such a melancholy image. Pepe and wojak really are the foremost cancer of the internet — sapping all the originality, fun, honesty, cohesion, variety and specificity out of memes for over a decade now; then, supplanting them with horrifically ugly, samey, low-effort Paint templates which were never used for any post that wasn't complete shit (trolling, straw manning, blogposting). I'd give anything to go back in time and murder the "people" who made them.
Additionally, if you want to stop browsing 4chan, then just stop caring about its well-being. The only reason anyone with a brain would still post there would be in an altruistic, but decidedly uphill effort to maintain the culture it still has left. Said culture is now confined to extremely low-activity boards. So unless you organise to "retake" it from the tumours killing it, you can't do much for it on your own.

I remember finding /b/ at around the 11M - 15M get… I discovered it through YTMND which was pretty big at the time
Like most people in this thread, I too, remember how truly awesome it all was. /b/ and 4chan could not have grown so large, if there was not something to it all… Pre-smartphones, Windows 2000, that era…
It must have been some sort of energy affecting the collective populace of this world, but… It just is not the same anymore. Content has shifted, memes have changed, userbase has expanded and includes more individuals, more and more people over time have learned about it, altering the websites status from a sort of secret club/den/lodge for internet users/lurkers, into an all-prevalent monument, wherein many people know about it
If I could recommend anything, as someone who spent my earliest teen years, around 13 years of age (I am 27 years of age now)… My personality was molded by the website, and others
…My personal recommendation, what stuck with me through it all…
Educate your Self. Pick up a skill, a hobby, learn about a topic/topics, do something or commit yourself to something that you can engage with, on an intellectual/spiritual level, that you can endlessly improve in
I don't know if anyone remembers this, but I sure do, a guide known as "The Well Cultured Anonymous"? I read that when I was younger, and it affected me…
Try to engage in something that captures your attention and assists to getting you into what is known as a "Flow State"… Something that engages the energies of the archetype of "The Heroes' Journey"
When your consciousness is occupied with being in a flow state, it means that you are truly in tune with the magic of life. You will be enamored, you will be focused, you will be enveloped in performing whatever it is that you are committed to engaging in…
Energies such as loneliness, doubt, fear, stress, anxiety, rumination will not affect you so strongly, when you are engaged in something that truly sings to your soul, so to say
Many topics to study, much to learn, much to develop in… Do not forget, that your interests/hobbies/skills will allow you to develop relationships with others, sharing in an appreciation, with shared Wisdom and Compassion

I used to lurk /int/, more specifically my countries general because years ago it was a general full of back and forth banter, coherent discussions, etc, but I eventually drifted away as I ventured onto other chans. I recently checked in to see how the general was doing and it's blatantly full of zoomers regurgitating the same gimmicks and jokes with the occasional racebait.
/int/ is maybe the worst board on the entire website, the worst mixture of zoomers, redditors, normalfags and /pol/tards I can't stand that place
/v/ is dead after they made the RPG and strategy boards, mostly just shills there now
/tv/ is horrendous but there are admittedly some funny shitposting threads
/pol/ is a necessary containment board
/a/ is pretty bad, the mods and remaining oldfags try but anime is just too mainstream these days to gatekeep it
/co/ is a tranny colony
/his/ is /int/ without the flags, dreadful
/b/ is just interracial and tranny porn spam
/r9k/ is failed normies, still a couple of decent users but it sucks
the other boards are mostly okay at filling their hoobyist niche

4chan has been so bad since 2015 or so that I just can't browse it anymore without feeling the urge to close it, there's literally nothing worth visiting that site for anymore, even Reddit is better because you can actually get help and useful tips there, 4chan is just zoomers repeating the same shit over and over and /pol/tards blaming everything on Jews, niggers or some new buzzword of the month.
Also thank god this site bans pepes and wojaks, that shit is pure cancer that completely killed creativity on the internet as a whole.

I don't see what could be holding you there.
I also don't have a replacement to suggest.
If you've got that feeling of belonging or something then it's not really something someone else can just ask you to spontaneously feel.

Other than specific subreddits reddit still manages to be even more retarded than 4chan, since usually its just pure retardation.

Maybe its just a me thing but I miss the times where stuff felt original, or at the very least that I was interacting with a human. Bots/shills make me feel more alone than ever on lively boards and I really only use 4chan now to get news off /pol/ and advice off /fit/. I just want somewhere I can go where im not fed an agenda, just shitposting and interaction.

>/a/ is pretty bad, the mods and remaining oldfags try but anime is just too mainstream these days to gatekeep it
I hate what /a/ has become. I could stomach /v/ becoming a shithole because it always was one, but /a/ was always this last bastion against the tides of normalcy and underage faggotry ruining the site.

I used to use 4chan, but it's unrecognisable nowadays. It seems every board has been reduced to a nondescript shitposting board, where the subject is just an extraneous theme poorly appended into it. When you have to actively, aggressively dig for fun or intriguing threads; it quickly becomes apparent there isn't much point in remaining there. There's something depressing about seeing what used to be unique and distinct boards being reduced to petty underage faggots and normalfags looking for somewhere to unload whatever crap they can't on social media.
Ultimately, I blame irony. If there's one persistent source of so much cancer I see killing so many websites, it's irony. Not the situational concept in itself, but more the "need" many retards seem to have to manufacture it as a tool for dragging something down. The difference in how ragefaces and wojak/pepe were treated over a few years is actually a good example of how it affected the place. Ragefaces were mocked for being boring, uninspired; and low-effort templates; so when normalfags latched onto them they were shunned away from 4chan. Inexplicably, similarly shitty memes like wojak and pepe (which had similar formatting and concept to ragefaces) somehow continued to fester and spread while taking even lower quality forms than ragefaces ever did. Considering all this was around the time "ironic culture" began to take off in 2012 and 2013, it's apparent they were used as a vehicle for ironic shitposting, and thus lingered well past their expiry date. If you were to go into any given 4chan thread now, then you would notice a deluge of single-word responses (usually a buzzword), people falseflagging for the sole purpose of accumulating replies, endless social media screencaps and off-topic political threads, gaslighting, constant obvious raids from other websites, spam of the most inane and ugly meme images imaginable, and people who know absolutely nothing about the culture or history of 4chan itself.
It could all be dealt with, of course. The moderators and janitors there are not lacking in either the time or the tools that would allow them to deal with the worst of things, but they seem to have given up on it to nearly the extent any disenfranchised poster has. There's a reason they only tend to visibly act when something is an active threat to traffic or ad-revenue (NSFW images or spam, for example).
I suppose that's what happens when a website devolves from posting "with" people; to posting "at" people.

Ask for cheese pizza. I'm serious. Just hang around in threads where anons with questionable interests tend to post and solicit them, directly or indirectly, for whatever materials they might have which are illegal under U.S law. Solicit them in whatever manner you wish–they'll ban you even if you make it clear you're being facetious. You don't even have to go through the trouble of doing anything illegal yourself.
The moderation there seem to be intent on driving out every last weirdo and halfway-unorthodox person and turning the place into an anonymous Facebook.

i feel similar, although there was always a bit of irony. it certainly feels like imageboards are mostly populated by retarded kids trying their hardest to fit in by acting like caricatures of the retarded kids from 15 years ago. some significant part of increasing irony can surely be attributed to 4chan's traffic growth, too. i dont know if such a format is intended to serve so many people.

This image is kind of insane. Even if you were a total newfag that came in with the 2012 newfag influx the site would look completely different to you now.

I've found that there's a comprehension and patience limit for Zoomers. So things like Tor, longer-form posts, or coping with slower moving fora are impossibilities for them. If you post at least three sentences, use media that requires a bit of setup, go into the middle of a longer discussion, or wait a day inbetween posts then it's highly likely that you will not find any Zoomers there.

Isn't a decent portion of the userbase here 23 or under? I think the "ADHD zoomer" stereotype only really applies to the core zoomer population which is only in their mid teens. I think Zoomers will get better as they age. I doubt they'll stay retarded forever.

I think straight up dysgenics explains why a lot of zoomers are the way they are. We're three generations deep with a large population of barely literate criminals, that barely function, having 6-12 kids each. Those kids don't grow up to be criminals, but grow up to be tiktok obsessed computer addicts that live on junk food and do nothing in life.
Years ago I rented out my spare rooms to dozens of kids like that just leaving home at eighteen. There's so many of them in society now.

But if commies win we won't get netbuxx, those commies are enemies of a bunch of people.
